Ralph Ineson, the gravel-voiced legend from The Office (UK) and The Witch, is stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a galactic way—literally. The actor, known for his deep, instantly recognizable voice, has been cast as Galactus in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and he couldn’t be more excited about it.
During an interview with The Movie Dweeb, Ineson gushed about the film’s script, declaring, “It’s cool as f***.” And if that wasn’t enough, he doubled down: “Now, the more I understood about the universe and the way it all fits together, I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s really cool as f***.’”
Ralph Ineson’s Marvel Crash Course
When pressed for spoilers—because of course I tried—Ralph shut me down in the most wholesome way possible. “I’m not someone who knows all the lore of Marvel. My son is an expert. He’s 25.” Turns out, his son, Luc, has been giving him a crash course in Marvel history, making sure his dad understands just how massive Galactus is—both figuratively and literally.
For those unfamiliar, Galactus isn’t just a villain—he’s an intergalactic, planet-eating force of nature. If Ineson’s voice alone wasn’t intimidating enough, imagine it booming across the cosmos, declaring doom upon the Fantastic Four. Chills.

When I Broke Joe Keery’s Brain with Marvel News
Speaking of Fantastic Four casting, let’s rewind to the time I was the first to tell Joe Keery (Stranger Things) that his co-star, Joseph Quinn, had been cast as Johnny Storm. His reaction? Priceless.
“I think for all Joes, this is a good thing, me included. This is fantastic. That’s great. I got to text him right now. I’m going to text him,” he said during our interview. That’s right—I basically launched a Marvel-related text chain between Stranger Things alumni, which is now my proudest achievement.
Fantastic Four Hype is Real
With Fantastic Four: First Steps bringing Marvel’s iconic team to the big screen with an A-list cast, and Ralph Ineson calling the script “cool as f***”, expectations are sky-high. And if Joe Keery’s reaction to Joseph Quinn’s casting is any indication, Fantastic Four fans have a lot to be excited about.
July 25, 2025—mark your calendars. It’s going to be fantastic.
